AC-HPAT Prep Questions With Correct
Answers
Most of the cell membrane's specific functions are controlled by: - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Proteins
Alcoholic Fermentation is a form of: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Anaerobic
| | | | | | | | |
Respiration
Phagocytosis is a form of: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Endocytosis
| | | | | | |
What is a pyruvate? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Pyruvate is an important chemical
| | | | | | | | | | |
compound in biochemistry. It is the output of the metabolism of glucose known
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
as glycolysis. One molecule of glucose breaks down into two molecules of
| | | | | | | | | | | |
pyruvate, which are then used to provide further energy, in one of two ways.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
What are the small spherical bodies within a cell where proteins are assembled
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
according to genetic instructions? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Ribosomes
| | | | | |
What is the structural and functional unit of life? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The cell
| | | | | | | | | | | |
What is a prokaryotic cell? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A cell that lacks a true
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
| | |
,What is a eukaryotic cell? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A cell that contains a nucleus
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
and membrane-bound organelles
| |
What is cellular respiration? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A catabolic pathway for the
| | | | | | | | | | |
production of ATP, in which sometimes oxygen is consumed as a reactant along
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
with an organic fuel. At times, the process proceeds without oxygen, but this is
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
less efficient.
|
What is anaerobic respiration? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A form of cellular
| | | | | | | | | |
respiration that does not involve oxygen.
| | | | |
What is aerobic respiration? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Form of cellular respiration
| | | | | | | | | |
which requires oxygen to generate energy.
| | | | |
Name the four types of transport that allow small molecules to move across the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
cell membrane: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Diffusion, Osmosis, Active Transport, and
| | | | | | | |
Passive Transport.
| |
Prokaryotes often reproduce by: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Binary Fission
| | | | | | |
What is binary fission? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A form of asexual reproduction in
| | | | | | | | | | |
which the parent divides into two identical halves.
| | | | | | | |
What is cytokinesis? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The division of cytoplasm into two
| | | | | | | | | | |
identical daughter cells, which occurs during the telophase stage of mitosis.
| | | | | | | | | |
, What is a haploid cell? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A cell that contains one set of
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
chromosomes
What is a diploid cell? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A cell that contains two sets of
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
chromosomes
What is chromatin? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The substance of which eukaryotic
| | | | | | | | | |
chromosomes are composed, consisting of mostly proteins, DNA, and RNA.
| | | | | | | | |
What is a centriole? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-a cylindrical organelle near the
| | | | | | | | | | |
nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
spindle fibers in cell division.
| | | |
What is a chromosome? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A structure carrying genes is a
| | | | | | | | | | | |
linear sequence, found in the nucleus, consisting of DNA and protein.
| | | | | | | | | |
What is DNA? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A double-stranded, helical nucleic acid
| | | | | | | | | |
molecule capable of replicating and determining the inherited structure of a cell's
| | | | | | | | | | |
proteins. It makes up the genetic material of most living organisms and plays a
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
role in determining heredity.
| | |
What is RNA? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A single-stranded nucleic acid molecule
| | | | | | | | | |
involved in protein synthesis. It is responsible for carrying the genetic code
| | | | | | | | | | | |
transcribed for DNA to specialized sites within the cell where the information is
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
translated into protein composition.
